If there are no employees in the business, there is no need for workers compensation. However, handymen, landscapers and other part time contractors may be considered employees and need to be covered.

The defining factors between an independent contractors (do not need to be covered under workers compensation) and employees (do need to be covered under workers compensation), has a lot to do with them having a contractors license, insurance, workers compensation for their employees, etc.

If you are unsure, it is best to disclose the possible employees to the insurance company and let them decide if they need to be included or not.
